Rejoice!

Rejoice...

Sometimes when you have something big on your plate that is hard to do. In a few hours, I am facing some little "big" thing.

Trying to rejoice...

And so I make this list of things I should rejoice about in order to encourage myself (and maybe a few of you) to rejoice about...

God has always watched over me, provided for my every need, and loved me without condition.

Rejoice.

God has provided people in my life when I need them the most. Whether it be my dearest friend Lemons, great teammates in China, a crazy but amazing family, or just someone to sit down a have a glass of milk with me... He knows what I need and I don't have to be alone. When a person maybe not be physically with me, I can still feel his presence. He will never leave my side.

Rejoice.

I am grateful for Marvelous Mondays even if that seems trivial. A good day makes for a better week.

Rejoice.

I am thankful for people who share. It is not always easy to open up and share your thoughts, but you never know who you might be encouraging. (Girls that were present tonight thanks for doing this.)

Rejoice.

I am thankful for road trips with new friends. For going to a new place, learning new things, and finding excitement in sharing that experience.

Rejoice.

For a new computer! It is gloriously fast, makes my work easier, and allows me to communicate with people that I love.

Rejoice.

I am thankful for doctors. A profession that I could never have.

Rejoice.

I am thankful for healing. In all aspects. In every sense of the word.

Rejoice.

Tomorrow I am heading to have another biopsy/lump removed. This isn't the first time and there are no promises that it will be the last. While I am confident that everything will be just peachy perfect, it is an emotional time. To some degree, it feels as though my womanhood is being attacked. (That might sounds silly, but some of you might understand.) It is not the outcome that makes me worry, but the scar. (Once again... silly) So I ask for your prayers... for the procedure, for Dr. Lawson, and for those silly things that lie in my head. I ask that you rejoice in your day. Rejoice for mine. Something that can be troublesome will soon be gone. That is worth rejoicing over.

Rejoice.
